Page adopters

Hi Jane, Just letting you know that I have added a Userbox to your User page as an example of a new feature that I have built in to the adoption templates, whereby if added to a user page a userbox will be displayed. If you would rather not have this userbox on your page, then please go ahead and remove it. --Steve 12:40, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Getting Started pages project

Thanks for volunteering to help with the Getting Started pages project! I have been working on the Help:Tour page and was wondering if you could come share your thoughts - what concepts are needed for a "Tour" of the wiki? Here is a Sandbox page with the general idea. Feel free to add your own edits/thoughts.

Also, thanks for the changes to the Edit and Contribute page. I moved things back over into a 2-column format. But...the formatting might make it harder to edit. Thoughts? Also, was thinking that those little edit boxes all over the page are a little annoying and maybe we should turn those into bold text instead of headings. Thoughts? Anyway, the page needs more but I am very happy with it so far!

Help/Wiki Forum badges

Hi Jane, I noticed that you have done a lot of work adding the {{Contributor Help badge}} to the help pages. I understand the reason behind it, to increase awareness of the forums as a place to ask questions, but I think there might be a better solution. The badge template was created so that it could be placed within an article with text wrapping to the left or right. Your recent edits have placed the template at the top of articles and this creates a lot of white space. As an alternative I have created a new header article template {{Help article}} which I think is better suited for this purpose. I have added it to the article Help:Images as an example of how it look. I can use the find/replace function to build on the work you have already done to swap the badges for this new template. Before I do that, I wanted to solicit your feedback on the new template, is there anything that you would change about it? Thanks --Steve 08:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou!

Welcome Jane! We wanted to send out a quick letter of appreciation for contributing in the India, Punjab, Moga Land Owndership Pedigrees FamilySearch Historical Records article. The information you provide is invaluable to those users who are searching out further information about collections in FamilySearch; it helps them make a deeper connection with their research, especially when it has to do with their own ancestry. It’s your contributions that are keeping the project rolling forward. We want you to feel a part of our community here.

We are excited you have decided to share your talents, time and resources towards forwarding the goals of FamilySearch.org and those who use it (including you!). If you need a few tips in getting started, we’ve set up a page for you: https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/FamilySearch_Wiki:WikiProject_FamilySearch_Records. In this page you will find information about the FamilySearch Records project, getting started in wiki editing, tasks for which you can sign up to volunteer, etc.
